Step 1

4 DAYS IN ADVANCE

Make daisies, leaves and calyxes. Tint gum paste: 7 oz. moss green/brown combination (for green), 3 oz. golden yellow/lemon yellow combination (for yellow); reserve 18 oz. white. Use cutters and instructions from gum paste flower cutter set to make 30 small and 20 medium daisies on wires and 35 to 40 small rose leaves. For each daisy make a calyx as follows: Roll a 1/2 in. ball of green gum paste. Brush bottom of daisy at wire with gum glue adhesive. Wrap ball around wire at base of daisy and shape into a cone, with flat end directly under daisy.

Step 9

Decorate 8 in. cake. Position 8 in. cake on 12 in. cake. For shingles, roll out white fondant 1/16 in. thick. Use fondant trimmer to cut 13 strips, 1 in. x 10 in. Use knife tool from set to score division lines, 1 in. apart. Use small end of veining tool from set to score wood grain lines on each shingle.

Use water brush to moisten top edge of each strip. Attach strips to cake in overlapping fashion, starting at bottom of cake and trimming to fit. Stagger division lines for each strip. You will need five rows of shingles.
